CARCASS Reveal NEW Album Title & Song Names!

Last year, CARCASS announced that are reuniting and bringing the Heavy Music world a NEW batch of music. The bands next sonic assault will be called 'Surgical Steel' and it will be the bands first studio album in 17 years. This highly anticipated release will see the light of day later this year via an as-yet-undetermined record label.

The band’s
first studio outing since 1996′s 'Swansong' will be the first to feature NEW drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and also features guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen. The CD was produced by Colin Richardson (FEAR FACTORY, MACHINE HEAD, NAPALM DEATH, SLIPKNOT and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE).

The bands guitarist Bill Steer told U.K.’s Terrorizer magazine: “I found myself playing riffs that sounded like CARCASS.
This was after the band had finished the whole reunion cycle of shows
and festivals. So, officially, I would have been playing with other
bands and stuff, but for some reason whenever I picked up a guitar at
home I was coming up with riffs that sounded like CARCASS. I got on the phone to Jeff [Walker,
bass/vocals] and said, ‘We could have a crack at writing a couple of
tunes and seeing if they’re strong enough and take it from there.’ We
also agreed if it didn’t sound like carcass or have that kind of vibe to
it, we would just drop it. So that was the thing, we got together and
started working on some stuff and just immediately got the excitement
back very quickly.

“It definitely sounds like CARCASS. I think
we just generally by accident captured the flavor of past music that we
have done and you can’t help but push it forward. We have really been
creative and when you are looking at things like guitar harmonies, it’s
way more adventurous on this record. It’s not just parallel harmony like
we did in the past, things branch off in different directions.“A lot of what is happening now is based on rhythms rather than
actual riffs. We were discussing this a lot during record sessions about
how the riff is almost dying or dead already. People spend a lot of
time chugging on the bottom string [but] that’s a rhythm, it’s not a
riff. We can’t write a song, never mind an album, without it being
choc-full of riffs.”To this Jeff Walker added: “I’d like to feel like we are giving CARCASS fans what they want again. I’m a realist and I think Bill has realized and Dan know what people like about CARCASS. We’re definitely delivering.”

Guitarist Michael Amott and drummer Daniel Erlandsson, who have been touring with CARCASS
since the band’s reunion was announced in 2007, are no longer involved
with the group due to scheduling conflicts with their main band, ARCH ENEMY. “For live, we’ll obviously add another guitarist — we have someone in mind but we are not interested in a ‘name’ player,” Walker told Decibel magazine in December.Related links:CARCASS on MySpace
